From The New York Times:

Published: March 9, 2009

Hank Locklin, a singer who first applied his searching, crystal-clear tenor voice to honky-tonk country music, then helped shape the lusher, more refined Nashville sound of the 1950s and ’60s, died on Sunday (March 8) at his home in Brewton, Ala. He was 91.
